I'm inclined to think they'll go back to the old You Really Got Me/Happy Trails ending, although I could do without that. I've just heard it on so many bootlegs, I'd rather hear something else. Of course, if I'm lucky enough to see them on the next tour they could probably close with an acapella version of "Glenn's a Fucking Moron" and I'd be happy.

I think ending with "One Foot Out The Door" would be cool...But of course that is probably not a big enough known song with the masses.
So I would think they will end it with a crowd pleaser.
I'm gonna guess "Panama"

Dude, I LOVE that song!!

"The thing that inspires me the most is my bottle of Jack Daniels. It's my best friend in the world. Ol' Jack will never let you down. He's always there when you need him" - Nikki Sixx, Hit Parader magazine 1986

"Van Halen is 'Get the fuck off the sidewalk if ya don't like our drivin' kinda music!" - David Lee Roth

"We get to the hotel, there's people partyin' in the parking lot, people gettin' down in the elevator, wow! I swear to God I had this one chick, this chick was poundin' on my door, she was kickin' and screamin' at my door 'til about 6.30 this morning. Finally, I just said, 'Fuck it!' and let her out of my room!" - David Lee Roth

Both Dave and Eddie have done Jump on every tour since 1984, so I couldn't blame them for being sick of the song. It may be their biggest hit single, but it isn't their best song by a long shot. I'd love to see them open with Mean Street, close the set with Me Wise Magic, and finally finish the encore with Unchained

I was listening to Light Up The Sky earlier and thought "man, this would be a great opening song for VH." They should go that route like they did on the 1979 tour. One Foot Out The Door, Hot For Teacher, and Romeo Delight would be some good songs to close with. Me Wise Magic is good too.
Heck, even Panama would be good to open with.

Didn't Gary say "this is the real goodbye" from the Sydney show that MTV's "Live at the 10 spot" had a couple of years back? I sure thought so. Either I'll have to check my video or Glenn can save us all some time and give us the answer!! (LARGE salute to Glenn - he's my hero!!)

On guitar polls: "If it were up to me, I'd put Eddie Van Halen in the first five slots, then everybody else." - Billy Gibbons, ZZ TOP.

Also - I have a video that has Van Halen W/Sammy playing a club in Milan (Hi Eddie Italian) and I thought that they closed THAT show w/Panama also - again It's been a while since I viewed that show, I'll have to double check that one.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yup Gary says "this is the real goodbye" when Alex starts the drums to Panama in the Sydney show. He said it on their final concert on November 2 1998 too I believe.

i say that they open with the accapella version of "glenn's a fucking moron" and close with unchained.

well, i don't care about opening, but i think that if they go the whole show without playing unchained then the hard core fans will be unhappy (since a consensus among hardcore vh w/dlr fans are religious about unchained being the best song). so, the hardcore fans are like, "wtf", and then they come back for an encore and blow them all away. if the van halens had any idea of how cool that would be, (imo, of course), then they should play unchained as their encore.

For me, ADKOT was the first album to finally approach the incendiary intensity of the six pack. A big reason for this is The creative friction and competition between Ed and Dave. That push/pull...
